The Delhi Police has booked Dinakaran for allegedly attempting to bribe Election Commission officials through a middleman, Sukesh Chandrasekar, to get a favourable verdict in the party's two leaves symbol case.

Police said that the duo struck a Rs 50-crore deal to try and bribe officials from the Election Commission.

The poll body has frozen the AIADMK's two leaves symbol with the two factions -- one belonging to now-sidelined party General Secretary V.K. Sasikala and the other led by former Chief Minister O. Panneerselvam -- claiming it as their own.
